This is as far from everyday as you could possibly get. Recipes are complex and use gourmet ingredients, not everyday fare. Families watch out, this is not the book for you. A total waste of money for my picky eating child who can't have dairy. P-U - rename this to the GOURMET DAIRY FREE COOKBOOK and it's fine but with this title it's a huge miscue.

I checked this book out of the library and decided to buy it. I disagree that the recipes are too gourmet; I do happen to have things like turmeric, curry powder, cumin, ginger root, canned coconut milk, and pine nuts at home. I guess I'm weird. And you can always substitute for sunflower oil or pancetta with olive oil or bacon. Anyway, when you have to go dairy free you have to cook differently and try new things. I'm looking forward to trying the roasted parsnips with sesame and honey, sweet potato and chick pea cakes, and the moroccan lamb burgers (although I'll probably use turkey). The book definetly has different recipes in it and not just things I've seen over and over in other cookbooks.

I've used many of the recipes in this book even tho neither my family nor myself are lactose-intolerant. The recipes use what I consider to be ordinary, everyday spices like cumin, curry powder, cinnamon, etc. And ordinary, everyday ingrediants like eggplants, mushrooms, chicken, fish, nuts, breadcrumbs, parsley, etc. My family enjoys a wide variety of cuisines and it is my pleasure to prepare tasy recipes for them.

I checked this book out of my local library and I'm glad I did. It was terrible, and that yummy looking pasta and cheese dish on the cover, not in the book. It's some stock photo not even taken for the book. I was very dissapointed but I'm gald I didn't waste any money on it.

I would like to know who eats like this every day and who has the ingrediants in their pantries for these kind of eccentric/lavish meals.

I'm really sorry I wasted my money. My husband and I eat meals like this at 5 star restaurants, but don't cook like this daily. We had a good laugh over the title of this cookbook!
